Sorry for the easy questions, I am Internet-illiterate! What is the significance of a "!" in an internet address ? I often see addresses from the INFO-VAX mailing list with several internet domain names separated by a "!". For example: From: MX%"address1.vms.edu!address2.vms.edu!sabotkap@woods.ulowell.edu" ^ ^ While I'm posting, what does a "%" mean as well in an internet mail address after a username? pete ^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v-^-v^-v-^ Pete Sabotka, Meteorology Dept.
